chair story!

over a year ago my mom sent me this picture message from a garage sale at sleepy hollow lake:

i replied immediately begging for her to purchase; $75 and 210 miles later they were ours! after researching fabrics and upholsterers, we selected caitlin wilson's charcoal city maze and frank hille upholstery. tyler painted and repaired the frames and off they went to franks. a few weeks later they were complete and we found out just how meant to be they really were. upon receiving them we learned that many moons ago they had been reupholstered, at frank hille upholstery! these babies are drawn to camden county, nj!

i would especially like to thank tyler for his work on the frames, caitlin wilson for her beautiful fabric, frank hille upholstery for their amazing craftsmanship and most of all my parents for finding the fated chairs and treating us to their makeover!

  1. That's so funny, I also had my mom purchase for me a pair of metal outdoor chairs from an estate sale. They went from rusty black with white chipping paint to a new shiny powder coated blue. Now to find the perfect outdoor fabric.
